Our project is 90 acres of bush and fields in upland granite country near Stanthrope. Our community has about 13 members, some families, some single. The project was started in the mid 1970s by families and yoga monks intent on a lifestyle of all round wellbeing - physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, community, environmental. This is still the ethos. Since our foundation almost 50 years ago, farming here has been organic and chemical free. At various times we have had certification, including Bio-dynamic. Now, myself. I'm Dada Jitendrananda, a monk in the yoga tradition, and I look after the project. I love having wwoofers for the energy, help, good vibes, cultural richness and festivity they bring. I organise regular 2 week long working bee / meditation & yoga retreats that are great events of fun and development.

We are a couple living off grid on a hill in Royalla, just outside of Canberra. Our property is 300 acres of forested land. We are currently building a sustainable home using stone and hempcrete. We have a garden where we practice Masanobu Fukuoka's natural farming for vegetable growing combined with syntropic agroforestry. We are at the beginning of our journey and the soil is very depleted but we are already seeing good results in these methods. We have sheep, goats and chickens for our own production of meat, eggs and dairy products. There are a lot of farming infrastructure projects on our to do list and we love to make improvements to how we do things all the time. We get temperatures between -6 in the winter to 40+ in the summer. We have lots of opportunities to see local animals of all types.

I'm joining the WWOOF program as part of my adventure in Australia because I want to make my time here meaningful. I'm not only looking to explore this beautiful country, but also to give back by contributing my energy and enthusiasm to farms, gardenings and communities along the way. I see WWOOFing as a chance to learn new skills, embrace different ways of living, and deepen my understanding of sustainable practices. I will do my best to support the hosts and learn a lot of things. I am looking forward to living in Australia.

I would like to join WWOOF in Australia because I am very interested in learning about Australian agriculture and sustainable farming practices. I believe that by working directly on farms, I can gain hands-on experience and deepen my understanding of the land, crops, and lifestyle in rural Australia. Another reason is that I would like to stay in Australia for a longer period of time and travel around different regions. WWOOF offers a unique opportunity to explore many areas while being part of local communities, rather than just being a tourist. Finally, I am eager to meet people from different backgrounds and cultures. I believe cultural exchange is one of the most valuable experiences in life, and I would love to share my own culture while learning from hosts and fellow WWOOFers. I am excited to contribute, learn, and grow through this program.

Nestled in the very pretty Valley of a Thousand Hills. It is 200 acre farm, we run a small herd of beef breeding cattle: Black Angus. There are also 450 olive trees which are harvested annually for virgin olive oil and chickens for eggs. There is a small fruit and nut orchard and a vegie garden. Volunteering can consist of assisting with general cattle management, feeding etc. Volunteering in olive grove, harvesting olives, cutting grass, cleaning up paddocks etc. Helping in vegie garden, feeding chooks, cleaning out pens, ride on mowing, wood collection and maybe some tractor work. Accommodation for 1 within our home. Shared meals, mixed diet. No smoking inside. Initial stay 6-10 days, then longer by negotiation.

I like being outdoors in nature,working with people and making a difference...I like the freedom, I'm a responsible, hard-working person,who enjoys working on the land and see the opportunities woofing brings to my lifestyle

Both Wyatt and I grew up with small gardens in our childhood homes and have great memories associated with it. Ayla spent a couple weeks every summer helping on a family farm in Saskatchewan and Alberta. While it wasn’t heavy labour it was defiantly enough to inspire an interest. While life has taken us in many different directions we both have always had an interest in gardening even if that just meant have a few house plants and growing our own herbs. We both would love to start are trip revisiting these memories and creating new ones together. Learning about sustainable living and farming together. All while we get to meet new people and help out. We aren’t the kind of people that like to sit still for too long. So we would really enjoy the opportunity to learn new things and keep active while we work out where to go next on our journey. We both have a one year working holiday visa and think it would be great to start our adventure through wwoofing while we look for employment in Australia.

My happy place is the garden, and I would love to give my time and energy to help on people's farms. I’m also looking for a fulfilling way to validate my second year of volunteer work to obtain a third year visa and be able to spend more time in Aussie. I think wwoofing is a great way to meet people who are connected to the land and live happily this way. If they have animals, it's a plus !

We have a beautiful 40 acre horse agistment property, veggie garden & fruit trees and approx. 5 acres bush. 3 min drive to surf beach, bay beach & Inverloch town or 10 min drive to Wonthaggi, a larger town. Push bikes available. About 15 to 20 minutes to the beach and town by bike. We are very interested in living a sustainable lifestyle and hope that our WWOOFers are also interested in living sustainably and learning, and sharing knowledge of this. There are almost always wallabies and kangaroos at our farm and if you are lucky you may see echidnas, wombats & occasional koalas. Volunteering may include harvesting, fertilizing, pollinating, composting, mulching, hay carting, weeding, fencing, planting, food preservation, and other jobs as they become available.  Sometimes there is some work caring for horses: often all the work is in the garden and paddock maintenance, as the horses are mainly looked after by their owners. Accommodation for up to 3 in our home, although we usually prefer 2. Shared meals, cook together. We eat a healthy, sustainable diet.  Bron is vegan and while Ray eats most foods, many meals are vegan or vegetarian.  Vegetarians & vegans catered for.  No children, no smoking, all stays negotiable on application. Please let us know your available dates when you apply and the length of time that you would like to WWOOF here. (1 to 2 weeks preferred).

I studied sustainable agriculture at university, worked with youth gardening education programs, and am eager to learn more from farmers, land stewards, permaculturalists and eco villages in Australia as I complete my 88 days! I am looking for BUSHFIRE RECOVERY zip code eligible stays of a week to a month in duration in order to have a chance to slow down, experience life in regional Australia, and exchange my skills. I'm also eager to learn anything that will equip me for my dreams for the future of owning an intentional community / ecovillage / yoga & artist retreat on land with my best friends (the ones who I lived in a co-op with previously). I enjoy deep converations and look forward to learning what you're passionate about! I’m on a Big Lap of Australia, have been traveling around and am planning to spend the next few months in VIC, NSW, and QLD.

In many of our travels, we've been inspired by people who build their homes off-grid, sustain themselves with food they grew, and make their communities more loving and resilient. Eventually we'd like to do the same. Wildland fire is a cool job in many ways, but it's taxing on the spirit (we work more hours in 6 months than many do all year). So, while we save up for land of our own, we plan to enjoy the biggest perk of our job: 6 months off to travel and learn. We hope to connect with organic farmers and learn what it takes, exchange stories, make friends, and maybe make some art too. Lots of other firefighters recommended WWOOF, so here we are.

I decided to join WWOOFing because I truly believe it’s one of the best and most meaningful ways to get involved, learn new things, and experience life from a different angle — especially when it comes to farming and ecology. For me, it’s the most effective and genuine way to gain insight into how people work with nature and live sustainably. I’m more than happy to work and contribute in exchange for the chance to learn directly from those who have real experience and knowledge in this field. I also really like the spirit behind the whole concept — it carries a kind of optimism and humanity that I find inspiring. Maybe that sounds a little sentimental, but to me, it represents something real and hopeful: people helping each other, sharing skills, and connecting through meaningful work. Another reason is that I want to balance my academic life with practical experience. While my studies in English and Philosophy teach me a lot about ideas and perspectives, WWOOFing gives me the chance to learn from life itself — from the source, so to speak. I think it would be difficult to gain that kind of knowledge in any other way. My stay in Australia is something I expect to be deeply meaningful — not just for my career, but for my personal growth as well. I don’t want to just walk the well-trodden paths or experience the country as a tourist. I want to do something different, something a bit unusual, and hopefully make a small, positive difference — however small it may be.

Contributes to your 88 day visa. Gap Creek Farm is a small, tropical fruit orchard on 30 acres, cradled by the mountainous Cedar Bay National Park, with a river running through it. We grow rambutans, purple mangosteens, durians and more. The fruit trees and vegetable garden is organic, but not certified. Kangaroos, wild boar, rain-forest walks, swimming, fishing, beach.

Like my bio points to, I got super burnt out spending long periods behind a computer after the nonprofit I helped found took off. I felt a really strong pull to get outside, get my hands dirty, and get my body moving again. I spent the last year in NZ working and volunteering in various ag industries; I found my best, some of them life-long, connections through WWOOF, so I knew I had to join WWOOF in Australia too!

I'm keen to get my hands dirty, laugh and learn; meeting like minded people and support local whilst on my travels. I'm a hard worker and can turn my hand to most jobs around the farm and learn as much as I can about different people and ways of life.
